Stanley Cup Playoff Pick'em 2010

[Asher]

Isn't it astonishing that Burrows has 0 points, but the guys skating where he used to skate (Samuelsson, Bernier) keep getting points? It's almost as if he's not that skilled a player, he just got lucky by playing with the twins?

I wonder if anyone brought this up before here.

Edit: Nevermind, Alex Burrows just put it in the back of the net. Unfortunately, it was Vancouver's.

[Asher]

Alex Burrows gets his goal, and it's an empty netter.

Looks like LA is done.

Next year, when they have a real goaltender in Bernier, they'll be dangerous.

So far I've gotten three series exactly correct:
Vancouver vs Los Angeles: Vancouver in 6 games
Pittsburgh vs Ottawa: Pittsburgh in 6 games
San Jose vs Colorado: San Jose in 6 games

Uhh, thanks for that, btw. I was hoping you'd say this.

Canucks win, and Burrows ices it 4-2 in the game and 4-2 in the series.

Next up one of Chicago, if they win, or the winner of Detroit/Phoenix if Nashville pulls off the upset. Personally I'd like to see a Nashville upset and a Detroit win.

Because it's so hard to pick the favourite in 6. Way to go out of a limb.

Yeah, just like picking all the #1 seeds to make the final four in march madness. Oh, wait 75% didn't make it.

[ColdWizard]

Did I lose this yet?

[Ben Kenobi]

Hey rah, what would you say to a Hawks/Nucks rematch?

The objective was to pick the winners, not to go out on a limb.

hmm I got the same three series exactly right-- I got the Philly series absurdly wrong

I do have one more potential exactly right (GO Chicago)-- One has to think the last game was crushing for Nashville and ALL the momentum is with the hawks right??

The other 3 series??

Pho-Det-- Great series from what I have seen and I have actually been a bit surprised about how good Phoenix can be

Wash-Montreal-- I picked my Habs out of pure fandom-- I would therefore ask them to win the next two to net me two points or alternately lose tonight so I at least take one.

Bos-Buff-- I believed in Miller but as a Habs fan I should have known to never trust those Bruins. Buffalo could still win I suppose but I need two Buffalo wins or a Boston win NOW in order to score points.

[Asher]

Oh, sweet ****ing Jesus, Vancouver is at it again.

They've declared tomorrow CANUCKS DAY. For winning the first ****ing round.

Jesus ****ing Christ, these people are insufferable. Reminds me of the annoying Canucks fans on various hockey boards bragging about their undefeated pre-season.

[Ben Kenobi]

Finally! I hope they make it a national holiday.

How bout that Cammellari! 2-0 Habs.

[Asher]

Bahston eliminates Buffalo in 6. Unexpected.

[Ming]

A real shoot out in Nashville. 7 goals in the first period. Hawks lead 4 - 3.
WOW!

[Ben Kenobi]

Buffalo vs Boston in 6

To some maybe.

Not to OB, who got it *exactly* right.

[Fake Boris]

Yeah it was a wild guess - I figured they could rally and play well after Savard's nasty injury. A team can surprisingly step up when they lose a key player.
